Does the concept of holiness hold any relevance for Christians in
the twenty-first century? Or is it rather a relic of the past, with
nothing to offer in today's postmodern world? The contributors to
this book firmly insist that holiness is indeed relevant, no matter
the age in which we live. Moreover, it is essential to following
Christ in the twenty-first century.
The essayists are all members of the Wesleyan Holiness Study
Project, a gathering of scholars and leaders who have met since
2004 to explore the mission of the churches of the Holiness
movement. The book begins with two compelling ecumenical statements
articulating the holiness message for today's church: "The Holiness
Manifesto" and "Fresh Eyes on Holiness." These are followed by a
dozen penetrating essays grouped in three parts: (1) the
understanding of holiness in Scripture, (2) holiness in historical
and theological perspective, and (3) holiness in relation to
various practical aspects of ministry. The book concludes with
appendixes offering five considered descriptions of holiness.
The fastest-growing segments of the church worldwide have their
roots in the Wesleyan Holiness tradition. Catholic, Orthodox, and
other Protestant denominations are discovering its relevance to
their own traditions and practices. The Holiness Manifesto offers
an ideal overview to those wishing to understand more about this
extremely influential movement.
